Epigenetic inactivation of RASSF1a in uveal melanoma.

abstract：PURPOSE:Vitreous degeneration contributes to several age-related eye diseases, including retinal detachment, macular hole, macular traction syndrome, and nuclear cataracts. Remarkably little is understood about the molecular interactions responsible for maintaining vitreous structure. The purpose of this study was to m...
